: Fahdiansyah Rahman : XI IPA 2 : 17 January 2012 Hiding from a thief

One night, a thief was breaking into Nasreddins house. Coincidentally, Nasreddin saw it. Then he hid in a big box in the corner of the room quickly. The thief started searching for money or jewel in the house. He opened the cupboards, drawers, and wardrobes but he could not find anything. He was almost desperate and wanted to go out through the window. When he walked to the window, he saw a big box in the corner of Nasreddins bedroom near the window. He was glad because he thought that there was jewel or much money inside. The box was tightly locked from inside. Yet, he could open the door hard. He was very surprised to find Nasreddin inside the box. The thief was angry and said Hey, what are you

doing here ? I hide from you. Said Nasreddin Why ? Said the thief Im ashamed because I dont have anything that you can take. Thats the reason why I hide here. Answered Nasreddin.

Not Complete Yet

Nasreddin felt that he was already old. He thought that he would die soon. So, he asked for someone to make a grave from him. He promised to pay the man a certain of money when the work was finished. During the work, Nasreddin protested many things about the grave. But at last, the man finished the grave making. He asked for the money Nasreddin had promised him. Nasreddin said You can not ask for the money now. Why ? You said that you would pay me as soon as I finish the grave. Asked the man The grave is not complete yet. Said Nasreddin. What else should I do to complete it ? Ive done everything. Said the man angrily. Its not complete yet because the corpse is not there yet. Answered Nasreddin
